I work in a public school. I’ve realized we do not have a first aid kit that is capable of multiple victims of a serious traumatic injuries, like those seen in a school attack. While the politicians talk and talk, I’m looking to do what I can to be pragmatic. We’re looking to outfit our building with what we need to provide critical aid to wounded people, especially since we are very isolated for a school.

I’m looking for advice on a multiple victim trauma kit, something...

People call 911 for smoke and water in the basement. We arrive, find smoke throughout the house and coming from the attic eaves. Get in there, find lots of smoke but no fire. Burned rafters in the basement above the laundry machines. Turns out the dryer caught on fire, started to burn the basement ceiling, and with the heat an old 1st floor bathroom pipe burst a joint, which put out the fire.

A civilian also perished in the blaze.]]>3New Year's calls?Wed, 03 Jan 2018 21:29:42 +0000https://www.glocktalk.com/threads/new-years-calls.1687285/

I am out right now on medical getting my knees replaced, so I am just listening to the radio. On New Year's Eve, with temps around 9 - 11 degrees (F), my department had two car accidents, one of which was a rollover. Which usually means a long time "standing by" at the scene after the patients are taken care of. I have yet to talk to anyone about the accidents, but I was feeling bad for them... in my warm house (with an aching knee)....

We just had a live fire drill yesterday. Old house set for demolition. We would light a small(ish) fire in one room, then have an attack team proceed in with a 1 3/8 attack line to put it out. Plenty of safeties were in place: We teams rotated acting as RIT, search, rehab, etc. A safety team with a charged line was in place on the same floor in another room. A second charged safety line was outside the house on the far side. Engines and tankers were...
